Magnetic Levitation Train

Abstract

Magnetic levitation is a technology that has been experimented intensely over the past couple decades. It was not until the last ten years when scientists began to develop systems that would use magnetic levitation as a means of transport. This paper outlines methods behind the magnetic levitation, as well as the technologies implemented using the levitation. The implementation of a large-scale transportation system using magnetic levitation has huge social as well as economic effects. These aspects are looked at in a number of situations to see if the effort in producing a system using magnets is worth the time and effect.
